Short Answers: Are You Guys Some Sort Of Hippies?

Good question.

I’m not really sure what that term means.

Most of the hippies I see today are more concerned with looking like hippies than they are with any particular lifestyle.  Birkenstocks are expensive.

If I had to define the “hippy” I see today, I would have to say that it’s a person interested in shirking society’s regulations for no particular reason, behaving irresponsibly and taking advantage of hard-working people.

Pop hippies from decades ago seemed like they were more interested in drugs, revolutionary music and sexual promiscuity than they were in any particular message.

On the other hand, if you’d like to define a hippy as a person that takes personal responsibility to new levels and casts off society’s unnecessary regulations while lowering his negative impact on the globe and spreading a philosophy of peace, love and acceptance, then yes, I suppose we are trying to be some kind of hippies.
